Hi everyone,

My bike is squeaking a bit near the crank. I took the non chain side pedal crank off as it kept coming loose, the square bit in the middle looked a little warped but i cleaned up and it went back on ok but this squeaking has started. Any ideas?

It tends to only happen when i set off, once going it stops.

Cheers
Tim

This could be a couple of things first of all is the bottom bracket a casset type and
is it loose?
how old is it? and has it been servived or cleaned recently.
Check that crank arms are located correctly and square on.
Make sure they are tight and no rocking movement.
Also whath type of frame check any welds round bottom bracket area.
The noise is there when you set off as this is probably when you are applying most load to the crank arm.
Whats it like if your out of the saddle climbing a hill
If you cant find the fault i would suggest a visit to a good cycle shop to get it checked
